Courses
At Cambridge we offer Government accredited courses and an array of English courses and academic pathways to meet a range of abilities and goals. The main Cambridge focus is preparing students for life long tertiary study. After completion of each AQTF registered course an Australian Quality Training Framework Compliant certificate is issued which shows the level of competence achieved and the attendance level. Students who do not complete these certificates will be issued with a recognised statement of attainment. The courses currently offered are:A: Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF):
